In this post, we’ll breakdown the P90X schedule for the “Doubles” version of the P90X workout program. In addition to the “Doubles” schedule, there are two more ways to go through the program:
1. P90X Schedule – Classic
2. P90X Schedule – Lean
The P90X exercise program requires a certain level of dedication and commitment, so it’s good to have an idea of what your daily workout schedule will be prior to starting the workouts.
The 90 day “Doubles” P90X workout schedule is divided into three sections: Weeks 1-4, weeks 5-8, and weeks 9-12. Each segment consists of 3 weeks of hard training, followed by a recovery week.
The first block of the schedule is identical to the “Classic” program. However, in the second month there are three morning Cardio X workouts added each week and in the final month there are four weekly Cardio X workouts added.
This is a very demanding workout schedule and following it won’t always be easy. Just remember, in order to get the best P90X results possible — it’s important to stick to the plan exactly as it’s laid out.
*Please note: I am against the practice of yoga due to its connection with eastern spirituality, and I strongly recommend that you skip this part of the program.

2Classic, because the extra cardio will cut into calories that could be used to repair muscle
